As most people on this platform, I love traveling and connecting with people who share that same passion. I alternate between needing a routine and stability and needing spontaneity and adventure. I am from Portland, Oregon, USA, but I call Rio de Janeiro home base now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people from around the world and connect through sharing experiences and stories.

Interests

I have always loved to travel, but more recently I've been all about slow travel because it allows me to integrate with the culture and connect with locals more profoundly. I enjoy:
- Walking around in new cities without a location in mind because that allows me to stumble upon some unexpected gems.
- Nature (hiking, waterfalls, forests)
- Spending time at the beach or river
- Trying local food and eating where the locals do
- Building community worldwide
- Standup comedy (I perform sometimes)
- Cheese & wine
